Comment (by mascguy):

 Okay, so after digging into the details, this is the issue: Port
 `lib2geom` hasn't been updated to 1.2.x, so Inkscape can't use our
 existing one. So it goes ahead and installs it's own public copy of 1.2.x,
 which of course conflicts with `lib2geom`.

 Ideally we should have updated `lib2geom` - and continued to have
 `inkscape` depend on it - avoiding all of this. That also ensures that
 other projects can use that lib, without having `inkscape` installed. (Not
 sure whether any projects plan to take advantage of it, but none of our
 other ports do at this time.)

 Still pondering which approach I'm going to take, but planning to make a
 decision over the next few days. Stay tuned...
